Activity; Comment Request
Title: Personal Responsibility
Education Program (PREP) MultiComponent Evaluation—Data Collection
Related to the Performance Analysis
Study and the Impact and the In-depth
Implementation Study.
OMB No.: 0970–0398
Description: The Office of Data
Analysis, Research, and Evaluation
(HHS/ACF/ACYF/ODARE) in the
Administration for Children, Youth and
Families (ACYF) and the Office of
Planning, Research, and Evaluation
(HHS/ACF/OPRE) in the Administration
for Children and Families (ACF)
propose a data collection activity as part
of the Personal Responsibility Education
Program (PREP) Multi-Component
Evaluation. The goals of the PREP
Multi-Component Evaluation are to
document how PREP programs are
designed and implemented in the field,
collect performance measure data for
PREP programs, and assess the
effectiveness of selected PREP-funded
programs.
The PREP Multi-Component
Evaluation contains three components:
the ‘‘Design and Implementation
Study,’’ the ‘‘Performance Analysis
Study,’’ and the ‘‘Impact and In-Depth
Implementation Study.’’ This notice is
specific to data collection activities for
both the Performance Analysis Study
and the Impact and In-Depth
Implementation Study.
The Performance Analysis Study
component entails the development of
performance measures and collection
and analysis of performance measure
data from PREP and Competitive PREP
(CPREP) grantees. Data will be used to
determine if PREP and CPREP grantees
are meeting performance benchmarks
related to the program’s mission and
priorities.
The Impact and In-depth Study
component entails separate random
assignment impact analyses
accompanied by in-depth
implementation analyses of four-to-five
specific PREP-funded programs. The
Impact and In-Depth Implementation
Study will expand available evidence
on whether the replication of evidencebased programs, or the substantial
incorporation of elements of these
programs, funded as part of PREP, are
effective at delaying sexual activity,
increasing condom or contraceptive use
for sexually active youth, or reducing
pregnancy among youth.
A description of the activities
proposed follows:
Performance Analysis—CPREP
Performance Measure Data Collection:
Performance measurement data
collection instruments will be
administered to individuals
representing CPREP grantees, CPREP
program facilitators, other CPREP
program staff, and CPREP program
participants.
Impact Analysis—Follow-up
Instruments: Two follow-up surveys
(one at approximately 6 months postprogram and one at approximately 12–
24 months post-program) will be
administered to study participants.
Statistical analyses will be performed
with these data to determine program
effects.
Impact Analysis—Administrative
Data Collection: Data will also be
collected from administrative records
(e.g. school or state agency data bases)
and used to determine program effects.
In-depth Implementation Analysis—
Implementation Instruments: Site visits
will be conducted at two to three points
during the program implementation
period. During these site visits, inperson interviews, focus groups, and a
web survey of program staff will be
conducted. Data collected through these
activities will provide an understanding
of the selected programs’
implementation and context and will
allow for a description of each program
and the treatment-control contrast to be
evaluated in each site. Data will also
help in interpreting impact findings.
Respondents: Program applicants (i.e.,
adolescents); Data managers (e.g., at
schools or state agencies); Program
administrators and staff; Participating
youth; and Community members.

Title: Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) Multi-
Component Evaluation--Data Collection Related to the Performance
Analysis Study and the Impact and the In-depth Implementation Study.
OMB No.: 0970-0398
Description: The Office of Data Analysis, Research, and Evaluation
(HHS/ACF/ACYF/ODARE) in the Administration for Children, Youth and
Families (ACYF) and the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation
(HHS/ACF/OPRE) in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF)
propose a data collection activity as part of the Personal
Responsibility Education Program (PREP) Multi-Component Evaluation. The
goals of the PREP Multi-Component Evaluation are to document how PREP
programs are designed and implemented in the field, collect performance
measure data for PREP programs, and assess the effectiveness of
selected PREP-funded programs.
The PREP Multi-Component Evaluation contains three components: the
``Design and Implementation Study,'' the ``Performance Analysis
Study,'' and the ``Impact and In-Depth Implementation Study.'' This
notice is specific to data collection activities for both the
Performance Analysis Study and the Impact and In-Depth Implementation
Study.
The Performance Analysis Study component entails the development of
performance measures and collection and analysis of performance measure
data from PREP and Competitive PREP (CPREP) grantees. Data will be used
to determine if PREP and CPREP grantees are meeting performance
benchmarks related to the program's mission and priorities.
The Impact and In-depth Study component entails separate random
assignment impact analyses accompanied by in-depth implementation
analyses of four-to-five specific PREP-funded programs. The Impact and
In-Depth Implementation Study will expand available evidence on whether
the replication of evidence-based programs, or the substantial
incorporation of elements of these programs, funded as part of PREP,
are effective at delaying sexual activity, increasing condom or
contraceptive use for sexually active youth, or reducing pregnancy
among youth.
A description of the activities proposed follows:
Performance Analysis--CPREP Performance Measure Data Collection:
Performance measurement data collection instruments will be
administered to individuals representing CPREP grantees, CPREP program
facilitators, other CPREP program staff, and CPREP program
participants.
Impact Analysis--Follow-up Instruments: Two follow-up surveys (one
at approximately 6 months post-program and one at approximately 12-24
months post-program) will be administered to study participants.
Statistical analyses will be performed with these data to determine
program effects.
Impact Analysis--Administrative Data Collection: Data will also be
collected from administrative records (e.g. school or state agency data
bases) and used to determine program effects.
In-depth Implementation Analysis--Implementation Instruments: Site
visits will be conducted at two to three points during the program
implementation period. During these site visits, in-person interviews,
focus groups, and a web survey of program staff will be conducted. Data
collected through these activities will provide an understanding of the
selected programs' implementation and context and will allow for a
description of each program and the treatment-control contrast to be
evaluated in each site. Data will also help in interpreting impact
findings.
Respondents: Program applicants (i.e., adolescents); Data managers
(e.g., at schools or state agencies); Program administrators and staff;
Participating youth; and Community members.
